Subject: [FWD: RE: [regrep] Wiki + ebXML Registry + REST technology]


Peter,
 
Here's the "mini-spec" for the semantic registry approach with wiki + ebxml registry that I sent to Farrukh + regrep.
 
I also found this large list after your helpful hints on today's call:
http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/Semantic_Wiki_State_Of_The_Art
 
Could there be one's here we would want to short list for possible test driving this approach?
 
(Assuming they are OSS license compatible of course!)
 
Thanks, DW

Farrukh,
 
Here's the thumb sketch on a sample use case.
 
Wiki users need to provide richer content capture -  but we want to do that from inside the wiki interface.
 
Example would be - a medical focused wiki - team is developing understanding of a research area.  They create typical wiki content around their actual research - but now realize they need to classify and formalize a vocabulary and relationships (associations) between the core concepts and medical entities.
 
Create some wiki template pages for registry a) classification entry b) concept c) association.
 
Each of these under the hood would be putting content in the registry using the users wiki profile.  If it's there already then it does 'update', else 'add' - idea is to make interface model as simple as wiki already.  Optionally can insert XML formatted content extracted from the wiki page entry items.
 
Wiki would store return result + unique Wiki-item-ID# (returned by registry) - this would allow simple referencing to this - and a simple "My concept items" list on the Wiki interface.  These then work via "smart linking" - if user clicks on one of these Wiki-item-ID# - then query goes to registry on external-id to retrieve content.
 
Create query services for registry to return HTML pages of a), b) and c) returned from registry given search token. Add these search links to each of a), b) and c) - so users can see what is there already as they are adding new ones.  
 
A fourth wiki template page d) would be a Submit Resource Item - that allowed uploading of document - PDF, Word, PPT, XML - directly as contribution.  This could be standalone (e.g. - just gets added to registry with generic classification ) or in tandem with b) as an option link.
 
This would then be an ebXML Registry "plug-in" for the wiki. 
 
Adminstrators could obviously use the regular registry UI to correct or enhance basic content from the wiki entry.
 
Obviously we could then eat our own dog-food here - to enhance the current registry wiki!? ; -)

Thanks for pointing this subtlety out. I am still a little unclear on
what you envision.
Perhaps a crisp use case scenario or two might get me to understand better?

Thanks in advance.
